Synchronizing - adding new photos to an existing folder


If you save new photos in an existing folder, it must be synchronized in Excire Foto in order to include and analyze the new photos.

To do this, right-click on the name of the folder in the folder navigation and select the "Synchronize" command.

A dialog box will now appear in which you can set whether subfolders should also be searched, whether any existing keywords should be read from the files or whether an IPTC profile should be assigned.

Afterwards a security question appears, which should be read carefully, before you answer it with No or Yes!

The question is whether you want to remove unavailable folders and photos from the Excire Foto database during synchronization.

This is useful if the contents of the folders have changed due to moving and deleting photos. These will then be removed from the original folder in Excire Foto, as they are no longer accessible there.

However, if you are synchronizing a folder on an external hard drive that is not currently connected, clicking "Yes" would mean that all folders on that hard drive would be removed from the database!
